I bought a small Male early in the fall of 2016. It was beautifully and fully colored, just small. Maybe 3.5" at the time. Full blue jaw, no hint of red or orange in the fins just bright yellow. In the store it was with a female. Within 4 to 5 months the blue was gone and the yellow fins turned red.
I bought a female at about the 6 month mark to pair up with it and now a further 18 months later its coloring is still not fully returned.
So... what I see in your pic is a Male. I would get a female that is slightly smaller than your fish. Look for a a fish in a tank with a Male with deep red fins.
I'll try to get a pic up of mine before I head off to work.
